dumb question

Postby Forager » Tue Jan 20, 2015 4:14 am

Overall, I'm loving the LBO+3V set-up I recently acquired. I've used it several nights now, and it's great.

Now, for the dumb question: how do you pitch it or otherwise to eliminate drafts coming in from underneath the edges? The areas around here are far from level, and there's no snow cover to pile over the edges. So, how's done?

Thanks.

I think Kevin generally recommends burying the sod skirt into the dirt or secure it in a similar fashion. Does yours have a sod skirt?

I should have stated this earlier: the ground is hard frozen there's very little soil anyway (rocks and roots mostly).

Well with no dirt and no snow this is far from a dumb question, haha that is a tough one. I guess I would be trying to weight the sod skirt down from the inside with gear on the windy side, but hopefully Kevin or someone else has a better solution.

Well without dirt it is hard but you can put a twist in the stake loops to get a tighter seal to the ground . The LBO the first year did not have a sod skirt
